Touratech Suspension Lowering (-50mm) for BMW F800GS + Adventure from 2013 Type Level2/Explore

This shock absorber is perfect for reducing the seat height (-5cm) for the BMW F800GS. At the same time, your BMW F800 GS Adventure remains well-tuned and very suitable for touring. The shock absorber of type Level2 offers a large adjustment range and high reserves for the demands of motorcycle travel. The performance of the shock absorber allows for precise adjustment of your motorcycle's balance. In the front area of the BMW F800GS, suitable fork springs must be installed for compensation. The balance of the motorcycle can be easily and quickly restored by hand wheel via the hydraulic preload adjustment by you. The damping adjustment of this shock absorber allows for the necessary influence on the rebound and compression stages to implement your individual requirements for riding comfort at the shock absorber.


Important points at a glance:
=> The shock absorber is configured based on our experiences for the BMW F800GS and is ready to ride.
=> Parameters are: vehicle weight / linkage of the shock absorber / structural conditions / test rides.
=> The shock absorber mentioned here is designed for a rider weight of up to 100kg including travel luggage.
=> In all suspension solutions, the rear and front areas of the motorcycle should be adjusted.
=> The suitable component for the front of the BMW F800GS Adventure is:
=> Progressive fork springs, BMW F800GS *Lowering by 50mm* 01-040-7438-0
=> When replacing only one component, no lowering of the motorcycle can be achieved.
=> IMPORTANT: We strongly advise against pushing the fork tubes through the fork clamps.
*** This will severely impair the motorcycle's handling.

Note:
For the safe stand of your BMW F800GS Adventure after lowering, we recommend the shortened side stand and/or optionally the shortened center stand. You can obtain these components from your BMW dealer.



Features of the Touratech Suspension Level 2 shock absorber:
=> The shock absorber housing is made of aluminum.
*** This results in minimal weight.
=> Special, low-friction seals are installed.
*** This results in very low wear and a long lifespan of the shock absorber.
=> Stable stainless steel bushings are installed in the shock absorber eye for the mounting screws.
*** This ensures a stable, play-free fit of the mounting screw even under the highest loads.
=> All components are designed for intensive use with heavy touring motorcycles.
=> The damping settings were developed based on the experiences and requirements of Touratech.
*** The basis is many travel kilometers and the experiences from the deployments of the Touratech Race Team.
=> Separation piston design. This allows the damping fluids oil and nitrogen to act separately.
*** Finer response of the shock absorber.
*** High, precise damping performance even at very high damping frequencies (bad roads, tracks).
*** Better cooling of the shock absorber.
*** Minimal restrictions on the installation position of the shock absorber in the motorcycle.
=> Hydraulic high-end preload adjustment via a conveniently positioned hand wheel.
=> QR code on the shock absorber with individual shock absorber information.
*** This allows for easy retrieval of shock-specific information by scanning with a smartphone.
*** Always accessible information on the basic setting of the shock absorber. Reset possible in case of incorrect setting.



The basic setup installed here is tuned for riders up to 100kg including travel luggage. Adjustments
for higher rider weights (more than 100kg) and/or for predominantly passenger operation / with travel luggage are
possible. The shock absorber will then be individually adjusted to your needs by us with a spring of higher spring rate. Please use our suspension check form and send us the completed form.
